We plan on replacing our old .asp sites with MOSS web content managed
pages.

Under SharePoint, I created a main company site and under it (as
subsites) the rest of the site structure (a subsite for the Sales
dept, another one for Marketing, etc. etc. Typical SharePoint/Intranet
stuff.

The question is that we want to be able to access those subsites
directly, by typing "http://sales.myintranet.com" or "http://
marketing.myintranet.com" instead of "http://www.mycompany.com/
intranet/sites/sales/pages/default.aspx" for example.

How can I do that?

Thanks in advance,
Jack

There are probably better ways of doing this but in the past I have setup a
seperate IIS website as a redirect site. I setup the site with the host
header of the DNS entry (marketing). Then set it to redirect to the full
SharePoint URL.

Thanks Dustin,

In the end, we decided to go with ISA server 2006. We didn't use the
SharePoint wizard that was included, but regular ISA rules.

Using the URL example above, we basically
redirected the traffic from "sales.myintranet.com" to
"www.mycompany.com" and
changed the paths, making the external path "/*" internal "/
intranet/sites/sales/*". Finally some link translation from "/intranet/
sites/sales/" to "/" and voila. I'm not in front of the server so the
steps above may be a little off, and we still have some issues with
the rendered links not being translated (like the navigation and the
images urls) but this is good progress.
